At the last official World Cosplay Summit day, the Osu parade happened at lunchtime and the 1rst stage were held at the evening.

Our costumes for the Osu Parade

Some of the finalist’s weren’t participating at the Osu parade in order to rest or to spent the time for preparations.
We participated and it was good choice.
Already changed we waited in the lobby, got into the bus and went to the Osu Kannon shrine.

When we arrived we waited in the back of the shrine, went the stairs down and posed for a group picture.

Sadly also here we weren’t complete (actually the only real complete group pictures were at Laguna and the championship).

After some minutes in the hot burning sun, we went one after another down through the Osu shopping arcade. I have never seen so many people at one point. The walk was about 1-2 Km and at every corner, people waited in order to get a picture of you. That was an amazing feeling and experience.

Because the walk was roofed it wasn’t that hot and we also got some water checkpoints, where we got water from our students. Luckily we chose cosplays with fans and used our ice sprays. It really saved us! It was really really fun and a great experience.

At the interview

After arriving at the end point, 6 teams were chosen to give some interviews to radio and television.
So we went there, gave 3-4 interviews and went back to the bus.
